    Because we don't have any better options who are healthy.

    Jesus. At least they're close to the top of the order. Surely Dusty will pinch hit Vasquez for Maldy in the 9th, right? I would say he'd be crazy not to, but it's Dusty...

    Will Smith is definitely one of the pitchers of all time.

    We traded an average starter for him. That's a bad trade.

    That's exactly what I'm referring to when I say "stuff". You see a killer breaking pitch from this guy? It's just one fastball after another. He has no "stuff". Add to that he doesn't have Stanek's velocity.

    His curveball can be a devastating pitch when well-located. He also has a slider, but he doesn't use it too often so I can't really say how I feel about it.

    Worst era on the entire staff is just 4.02 (Maton). That's pretty amazing.

    If you think he's got a great curveball then so be it. That ends this discussion.
